DETAILS
Organic Eden Sauerkraut is made of sweet cabbage from rich organic soil, tended, harvested, and fermented by the Hirzel family. Since 1923 they have been growing cabbage and making sauerkraut as their family did in Switzerland. On-site organic composting operations enrich the soil to grow more delicious, nutrient dense food. The Midwest's hot summer days and cool nights help produce exceptional cabbage. These factors coupled with generations of know-how make big differences.
Cabbage is washed, cored, and shredded, then lactic acid fermented with Eden Sea Salt for at least six weeks. Artisan management of the fermentation cannot be computerized. Generations of experienced, traditional methods, and one family's care in seed selection to seedling, to the field, during growing, harvesting, and in fermentation management creates a sauerkraut of considerable value. Eden Sauerkraut has traditional homemade flavor and wonderful efficacy.
 
Fermented food can be extremely beneficial. Sauerkraut fermentation produces isothiocyanates with flavor common to wasabi, horseradish, mustard, radish, watercress, and capers. These compounds are garnering great interest in food science and medicine for their efficacies. Fermentation produces many healthy compounds not found in raw foods. "We are finding that fermented cabbage could be healthier than raw or cooked," said Eeva-Liisa Ryhanen, Ph.D., research manager of MTT Agrifood Research Finland. Fermentation produces organic acids and enzymes that make cabbage easier to digest and aid in digestion of food in general. They also boost immune strength. This research adds to the growing number of studies showing cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables are the best source of many healthful phytonutrient.
